You don't need an adapter for that but will need a stick bellhousing for the Olds 350 (one of the BOP) units. plus the Olds flywheel. There should be plenty of bellhousings around because they had a lot of them in Firebirds but the flywheel might be a challenge although they had the Olds engines in the Firebirds too. You might even score a fourspeed in the process.
Ya I'm going hunting tomorrow at the salvage yard to see what I can find, thanks for the info.
